Chapter 6 Getting To Know Each Other

The trip to the mall didn't go exactly like I thought it would. Raven and Christopher had gotten into a fight and he left the mall mad. To be honest, I wasn't even sure what they were fighting about.

Currently I was laying in bed staring up at the ceiling when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said looking over at the door. I watched as Blake walked in and closed the door behind him. I sat up and leaned my back against the headboard as he sat on the side of bed near me. "Hey, how are you holding up?" He asked. I shrugged and ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm okay I guess. What's going on with Raven and Chris?" I questioned. He chuckled and shook his head. "They are always like that. They are always fighting, honestly I just stopped paying attention."

I giggled and shook my head. "I love your giggles, they're so adorable." He smiled. I blushed and looked down at my hands in my lap. He placed his fingers under my chin lifting my head to look at him. "Don't hide that beautiful face, please." I bit my bottom lip as I felt my cheeks grow hotter.

"So tell me about yourself." I said changing the subject. "I'm 23 I met Chris and Raven about 2 years ago. Funny story actually. I was at the beach with some other friends from school and I accidentally hit Raven in the face with a football. I thought me and Chris were going to fight but instead he laughed and she threw the football into his gut and ever since we have been friends. I went to the same school as you guys but I graduated early so I think you started the year after I graduated. I currently own my own business which we can talk about later. Both my parents are dead, no siblings, no girlfriend and I think that's just about it."

"What's your favorite color? When's your birthday?" I asked. He smiled. "August 20 is my birthday and my favorite color is purple. Now tell me about you." I shrugged. "Uhm I'm 21 born May 8 I knew Chris since we were in 1st grade. I met Raven in 10th grade when she started dating Chris. I started dating Ryan when I was a freshman and he was a senior. We were the 'it' couple until he graduated and he started to slowly become different."

"Anyway I'm an only child, I never knew my dad and my mom abandoned me when I was 14 so I've been trying to take care of myself ever since. My favorite color is green, I love pickles they are heaven and yeah I think that's it." I smiled. "Well you're amazing and so strong." He responded. I shrugged. "Not strong enough."

"Hey he was stupid for the way he treated you. He didn't deserve you, you deserve to be given the word and so much more." He said. Before I could argue the power went out and a loud scream was heard from downstairs.
